Are you wondering how you can make the most of your IU experience? We have the perfect ideas to help get your IU bucket list started! Here’s the top 10 things every Hoosier needs to do before they graduate!

1. Tailgate!

I know this sounds like a cliché, but this is the only time in your life it’s socially acceptable to get drunk at 9am. You’ll never regret the sleep you lost getting up early for tailgating. On game day make sure to put on your crimson and crème and head to your favorite frat or tailgating spot! Make sure to cheer your Hoosiers to victory too!

2. Shake Herm’s hand.

Whether you’re nervous about a test or just needing some luck shaking Herman B. Well’s hand will help you out. He was the 11th President of IU and our library is named after him, so he’s kind of a big deal.

3. Quarry Jump!

Rooftop Quarry is very close to IU and it’s the perfect place for a study break. You’ll see girls jumping into the quarry in almost every sorority recruitment video. The reason why? It’s fun and adventurous! In a town completely surrounded by cornfields sometimes you need a little adventure to keep you sane.

4. Kiss in the Boathouse.

Legend has it if you kiss your special someone at midnight in the boathouse you’ll end up happily ever after. I’m not sure if that’s true, but it sounds great! Why not take a romantic walk through campus and kiss in the beautiful boathouse?
